About Oi Polloi

Oi Polloi are an anarcho-punk band from Scotland that formed around 1981. They started as an Oi! band, but are generally associated more with the anarcho-punk genre. More recently the band have become notable for their contributions to the Scottish Gaelic punk subgenre. Their name is a pun on the English loan of the Greek phrase hoi polloi (Greek: ?? ??????) which literally means "the many", but is extended to mean "the masses" or "the common people".
